YOUR VOICE.
YOUR community.
YOUR BALLOT
MUSIC | COMMUNITY | YOUR VOICE
Voice the Ballot is bringing Nashville together through live music, real conversations and trusted civic information. So more of us understand the power behind our vote.
NO RALLIES. NO PARTY POLITICS. NO TELLING YOU WHO TO VOTE FOR.
WHY VOICE THE BALLOT EXISTS
YOU'VE BEEN TOLD TO VOTE. BUT HAS ANYONE EXPLAINED WHAT YOU'RE VOTING FOR?
Informed participation starts with understanding how government works and how decisions made by elected officials show up in everyday life.
Know what you're voting for. Not just who you're voting for
01
Who represents your neighborhood?
02
What does a Metro Council member actually do?
03
What can one elected official change and what can't they do alone?
